PHFAT releases first full length album:
Happiness Machines
Release date: 22 July 2013 via PHFAT.com
This
fresh and talented electronic rap crew bolted the South African music
scene when they opened for Public Enemy at The Assembly in Cape Town in
December 2010. Three years, two digital releases and 235 shows later,
PHFAT is kicking it up to the next level with the release of their first
full length album, Happiness Machines, on 22 July 2013.
“This is the best most honest album we have ever made.” - PHFAT
Happiness Machines will be launched from their website, www.phfat.com, free of charge.
A
Thousand Limited Edition, 16 page Digibook albums with 17 tracks will
be made available for sale from their website, and at their launch shows
at The Assembly on 26 July, Arcade Empire in Pretoria on 27 July and at a Canal Walk Puma in-store promotion on Thursday, 25 July.
“All
of us feel like this is our first real album. We've grown up a lot and
we really sound like ourselves more than ever,” says Smooth Mike rapper
from PHFAT. Happiness
Machines’ music was made with a variety of analogue synths, which is a
big departure from PHFAT’s previous work. It presented them with a
different way to come up with music.
“It's also awesome because it means we aren't using even nearly the same gear as most other electronic acts.”
Smooth Mike literally went hunting around people’s garages and into the
fanciest and sketchiest second hand stores in the country and came out
with a bunch of synths that no one else has.
You are Going to Die
PHFAT’s previous EP, You are Going to Die,
was also made available for free download from their website in
February last year. Fans could choose if they wanted to pay for the EP
by donating money via EFT, PayPal or SMS. The excitement to get hold of
the album was so big that the website crashed on the first day of the
EP’s release. Since then You are Going to Die was downloaded over 13 200 times.
Launch Shows & Puma In-store Activation
PHFAT will be at the PUMA store in Canal Walk, Cape Town, to interact with fans and customers on Thursday, 25 July between 18h00 and 20h00.
There will be a 50% discount on all non-sale items for these two hours.
Be the first to get your hands on the Limited Edition PHFAT Happiness
Machines album.

study further. His favourite website is wikipedia and he also loves
science.

Electronic music. A man of few words they say…. seen often in the
